Los Angeles Clippers rookie power forward Blake Griffin had a monstrous game tonight. His line: 44 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and a block. His great game overshadowed Amare Stoudemire's 39-point, 11 rebound performance. The Knicks had the last laugh, though, winning the game 124-115.

The BreakdownThis performance, along with John Wall's recent injury, have moved Griffin to the top of our rookie rankings. We still feel John Wall's triple-double was a slightly better performance, but these two are clearly the cream of the rookie crop. Fantasy owners who drafted Griffin with the 80th pick or later are getting amazing value out of their selection and have found themselves a stud for the rest of the season.
